Ruffneck Records Profile

Founded by Patrick van Kerckhoven (aka DJ Ruffneck) as a home for his own unique sound, which would later come to be known as ‘artcore’.
The intent was to bring breakbeat hardcore to the Netherlands, but not everyone fully understood this.
Breakbeats have always played a very important part in all releases on the label and combined with tearing Juno synths and heavily distorted kick drums it has left its permanent impression on the entire hardcore scene.
